The Signs of the Times collection contains digitized copies of the Signs of the Times newspaper, a monthly Primitive Baptist publication that dates back to 1832.

This collection is comprised of materials from annual meetings of various Primitive Baptist Associations in North Carolina and Virginia. Given the geographic divide represented in this large collection, the collection is divided into two sub-series. The Virginia sub-series contains annuals and minutes of meetings from the years 1812-1962. The North Carolina sub-series is also divided into the various local Primitive Baptist Associations of the state. Materials in the North Carolina sub-collections contain material ranging from 1800-2010, and these materials are print pamphlets and minutes of the annual meetings of the various associations that they represent.

Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. In this message, Humphries speaks on the subject of sanctification and spiritual formation, drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.

Before the message, a brief explanation was given of the use of a shofar (ram's horn) in scripture, and one was blown in the service. The scripture reading was from Luke 22:24-34. The subject of the message was humanity's inability to fully understand God, especially related to the inadequacy of words to explain God.
Chevis F. Horne was Visiting Professor of Preaching. The scripture reading was from Matthew 25:31-46.
